What we source
Focused categories where fast supplier discovery matters.
Requires certification and logistics review.
Decision memo
Not another supplier marketplace
Primary
Supplier discovery funnel, RFQ package, quote normalization, risk scoring, and QC-ready recommendation
Secondary
Blind RFQ and NDA-safe attachment disclosure before sensitive CAD is shared
Backup
Human-in-the-loop operator review before outreach, supplier selection, or shipment
Current blocker
Marketplaces give listings and manual chats. They do not turn a messy BOM into a sourcing decision.
Next action
Upload one BOM/spec package and run a 48-hour sourcing sprint.
Sourcing funnel
The request moves from uploaded files to a customer-ready sourcing decision.

AI agents for sourcing
Brief, BOM, taxonomy, discovery, verification, RFQ, outreach, response parsing, quote comparison, risk scoring, QC, and report agents.
Risk and compliance analysis
Flag factory-vs-trader, certification, tariff/import, logistics, IP exposure, export-control, and prototype-to-production risks.
Founding pilot
Founding pilot: $500. Standard sourcing sprint: $1,500+. Includes brief review, supplier funnel, RFQ package, quote comparison, risk analysis, and QC-ready report.
Founder credibility
Built for engineering-led hardware sourcing.
SupplyAgent is intentionally narrower than broad procurement orchestration: it focuses on manufacturing supplier discovery, RFQ execution, quote normalization, risk analysis, QC planning, and customer-ready sourcing reports.
